Prompt: A time when you waved to a neighbor

Once I waved to a neighbor...

... and the ocean between us rippled
as fog lifted from repeated dreams
and the stippling shades of pewter
faded with the harsh light of noon,

and I saw you clearly across the fence,
that pile of stones dividing mine and yours,
heat waving as if the breeze could catch it
to blow these thoughts over where you've layed

these past ten years.
